1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the Aulographum hederae genome http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Ahederae2. Aulographum hederae (Aulographaceae, Microthyriales) is a saprobic Dothideomycetes that occurs on dead leaves of numerous hosts. It was contributed to the 1KFG project by Manfred Binder and Pedro Crous of Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures KNAW, Netherlands, and represents the first genome sequenced for the family Aulographaceae and the order Microthyriales. As always, please contact the lead contact and PI associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes for permission prior to the use of any data in publications.

Two new genomes were released today by JGI as part of the 1000 Fungal Genome (1KFG) Project: Polychaeton citri v1.0 (http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Pcitri) and Lepidopterella palustris v1.0 (http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Lpalustris). These are both members of the class Dothideomycetes and were contributed to the project by researchers Pedro Crous, Manfred Binder, and Janneke Bloem from the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures in the Netherlands. Annotation and editing privileges remain password-protected but all other tools are now available to the general public. As always, please contact the lead contact(s) associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes prior to use in any publication.
